Don't the Russians have an alphanumeric system. That's how we end up with names like "3M-54 Kalibr". With the sheer number of munitions we are building we need a similar system if we are to keep track of our own projects.
Is the Rudra M-1 and NGARM the same missile?

NGARM was approved on Dec 2012
The name Rudra M-2/3 only came up recently.
I would assume all missiles under 'Rudra' share similar airframe. Or are they calling NGARM as Rudra M1 now? @hellbent @Gautam
RUDRAM-1 is NGARM , I have said it often , in the other forum atleast since long ( maybe here too , can't recall )
All 3 RUDRAM series missiles are air to surface missiles.
Anyways indications are DRDO is looking to add HOJ capability to its air to air missiles down the line
Prithvi has demonstrated rather strange re-entry behavior that will make life difficult for any BMD system. The less said about that the better.
The Prithvi also has been used to make new gen RVs and also our BMD systems. But all of this is well known. What is new here ?
Yeah, check the Kalibr family. Many of them are without any relations. Russian's atleast use numbering system. Thus DRDO makes it weirder.
hmm..i always thought the new series would have entirely new class of missiles with similar body.
None of them share overall physical similarities
RUDRAM-2 and 2A will have similarities that's all.
And I have suspicion 2A is a air to air version of some sort ( no evidence to support the same though )
It is already there
A MMW seeker along with the PHH ( passive homing head )
Air to surface aero ballistic missiles , AFAIK one is supersonic and the other one hypersonic.

So, there is no reason to be in a series.
Damn, babus don't have any creativity. Call everything rudra.
